Our Story.

Let’s face it, foldable shoes have been around in various forms for a long time, yet it wasn’t a commercially successful product until recent years. Until now, there’s a lot of competition yet only a few brands that dominate the compact footwear market category. If you’re like us, you probably wondered why so many of them have flawed designs such as folding with the dirty soles facing out, which could get the wearer's purse dirty. But if a shoe is specifically designed to be carried in a purse, shouldn’t it be compact, stylish, comfortable and hygienic?

Our goal was to design a versatile shoe that everyone can proudly wear for multiple uses and of course...look GREAT while doing it. We believe there's definitely a void in this category for a more compact, stylish, clean and functional shoe. So, we've spent over 4 years designing and working with artists to create a versatile shoe collection for every occasion.

Quality & Design.

We're committed to producing top quality footwear for the consumer that cares about price, style, functionality and VALUE. We let YOU decide what you want in a multi-purpose foldable shoe by allowing backers to provide feedback every step of the way.

Cushioned Instep for Unbelievable Comfort Every Step.

FlipSlips have a thick foam cushioned insole which will make it your go-to comfortable ballet flat.

Full Rubber Outsole with a Folding Mid-Section.

FlipSlips have a strategically placed skiving that allows the shoe to fold and un-fold at mid-section without breaking. It has a full rubber outsole that is configured so that it wears like a regular shoe.

Folds Into a Tiny Pouch, Take It Anywhere.

In it’s self contained state, FlipSlips fold to about the size of an iPhone and can be carried anywhere including a coat pocket or small purse.

What makes FlipSlips different from the competition?

FLIPSLIP Shoes are the SUPERIOR foldable shoes in the compact footwear market and is the only product that addresses the problem of compactness and hygiene (Patent pending). All other products have poor design flaws such as dirty soles facing out, dangerously thin soling, lack of style or comfort.

We wanted to fill the void in this category with a product that embodied all the features we’d want for a more stylish, functional, hygienic and compact shoe that provided the most value.

We put together a chart of the most popular brands to provide information about the market and show the advantages of FlipSlips compared to other products in this category.

* Information taken from competitor's websites.

FlipSlip Cares: Our Commitment to the Community and Enviroment.

Classic FlipSlips are made of vegan materials*: rubber (outsole), PVC (insole), cloth (lining) and Neoprene (upper), which is a recyclable material that can be used for various purposes. We will also take your old pairs and recycle them for you with our Recycling Program and give you a 15% off discount OFF for your next pair.

FlipSlips Cares about our Community and through our Deluxe Edition, we are the only foldable shoe company that offers a product category that is MADE IN AMERICA.

* Note: the Master Cobbler edition are made of lambskin leather.

FlipSlips are foldable, self-containable ballet flats for women on-the-go that can also be used as an everyday commuter shoe.

They can safely be put in a pocket or purse without getting it dirty.

As we expand we hope to make our shoes available at convenient locations and shoe stores.

What will the funding be used for?

We already have everything in place to produce the shoes and just need the money to place the order to work with our manufacturer.

We have worked with them to create samples and we visited the factory and staff overseas and are confident in our supplier—they are highly skilled and our agent will work to source the best materials to make our shoes. We already own all the molds and have made many generations of FlipSlip samples. We took a lot of feedback from past customers and will continue to take your feedback until we are confident this will be our best FlipSlips yet!

What sizes will we offer?

Women’s Full sizes 6 to 11. If you are a half size, we recommend going up to the next size (ex: for 8.5 go with 9). Our shoes have a draw cord that adjusts the upper for a perfect fit as the shoe conforms to the foot.
